Obviously it is shorted from prime "napkin spacing capabilities"--if you look it up anywhere else you'll see the full un-napkin-ized quote is the one above. True, but they also say it’s on a napkin. Obviously it is shorted from prime “napkin spacing capabilities”–if you look it up anywhere else you’ll see the full un-napkin-ized quote is the one above.

Damn, that sounds gross. Two great tastes that just don't taste great together, indeed. Wow Michael, can I come with you when you meet the man who orders this drink? I got no issue with your taking his girl, but you can try to throw the drink in my direction instead. Who cares about the diamond--I just don't like to waste a good martini.

It comes with an actual diamond at the bottom of the glass. you believe that shit? I want to meet the man that orders that drink for his date, thank him for his charitable contribution to society, shake my head in contempt, throw the drink in his face and take the girl.

I'm also a little bowled over by it. I mean, I know NY is expensive, but... damn. My coworkers and I discussed the possibility of ordering such a drink, then opting for the cheapest gin on the shelf. The same issue of "NY" also highlights a $1000 ice cream sundae - it is topped with fruit-infused caviar (which sounds disgusting) and a flower dipped in edible 23K gold.
